On August 3, Intuit rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at $329.085/share, with turnover of $141 million.
On the news front, the application software sector broadly strengthened, with peer Salesforce up 4.48%, Palantir up 2.05%, and AppLovin up 2.8%, providing sector-wide sentiment support. Intuit had previously dropped 5.29% on July 30, triggering a short-term oversold bounce.
Additionally, the company is scheduled to report fiscal Q4 and full-year results on August 25, with market positioning around earnings expectations likely serving as a catalyst for near-term volatility. Multiple investment banks have recently cut ratings and price targets, including Morgan Stanley downgrading to Equal Weight from Overweight with a target reduction to $335 from $580, TD Cowen cutting its target to $304 with a downgrade to Hold, and Stifel lowering its target to $275. The primary bear case centers on AI disruption risk to the core TurboTax business, with Morgan Stanley noting investor confidence in revenue acceleration may take time to rebuild.
